  • (Not So) Street Smart

    Aspen prefaces this episode with that she considers herself book smart...but she is definitely not street smart! On today's episode, we recall some of Aspen's not-so-smart moments, from the time she set off the fire alarm her first night in her new college dorm to her apparent inability to keep track of keys. Ashley chimes in about when Aspen didn't wear pants to their T-ball game as a kid, and Aspen reminds Ashley that she had quite a few moments of bad judgement of her own.


    Also in today's episode, Aspen accuses Ashley of making everything a competition, Ashley nearly forgets about the time she rescued Aspen from an outhouse, and we decide we have to share a couple more stories that prove Ashley is the evil twin.
